Hello from Auckland, New Zealand!
Good to be here. Very happy with my system after 1 whole year of not changing anything!
Music sources are Tidal and iTunes via Audirvana or Roon plus a bit of Bandcamp.
Currently interested in the MSB Discrete to replace the Auralic Vega G2 and have subscribed to some threads here to get the thoughts of MSB owners.
I hope everyone is staying safe in that crazy world out there.

Re: Hello from Auckland, New Zealand!
The America's Cup sailboat race in Auckland and COVID-19 seem to be causing a conflict today. Are you at Level 3 or 2?

Re: Hello from Auckland, New Zealand!
You could be right there. Reading about all the amazing gear out there is motivating. I figure the MSB i have my eye on would be ‘it’ for my digital source leaving only the speakers to reconsider. And maybe a power conditioner. And upgraded cables. And..........
